UN-GGIM, at its seventh session, called for development of mechanisms for Member States to build capacity to address the legal and policy matters that have an impact on the collection, dissemination and application of geospatial information. This is the first in a series of regional training events on Legal and Policy Frameworks for Geospatial Information Management planned by UNSD, the Secretariat of UN-GGIM. It aims to raise awareness, and introduce and educate participants on the concepts and practical approaches which the participants should find helpful in their normal work. This three-day UN-GGIM training event is expected to make both providers and consumers of geospatial information at the national and local levels better aware and informed on how a country s legal and policy framework impacts geospatial information management, improve Member States capacity in addressing legal and policy considerations in geospatial information management to improve data sharing and dissemination, and increase the availability, accessibility and application of geospatial information.
